Prostate cancer signs and symptoms are categorized into two groups:

I. Localized (involves prostrate gland)

- Immediate need to urinate - Frequent urination-day and night - Stream of urine is weak and decreased in size - Blood in the urine - Pain during ejaculation - Difficulty to urinate

II. Generalized (involves sections the cancer has spread)

- Weight loss - Low Red Blood Cell (RBC) - Constant tiredness - Bone pain (frequent symptom of cancer that has spread) - Urinary clog and/or retention - Aching pain in the groin, hips, lower back and thighs

So, now is the time to think things over and be more careful in our diets, lifestyle, regular check ups or regular screening for common cancers-an early detection of any abnormality can lead to prevention of severe cancers and easier treatment.

If you think you have some or most of the symptoms listed above, this does not necessarily mean that you already have prostate cancer. It could be caused by other prostate problems. Thus, an immediate visit to a doctor is indeed encouraged.

Keeping in mind all of the symptoms and signs of prostate cancer will make one have the greater chance of detecting such disease early.

Having this knowledge about prostate cancer draws the line between men who do not have any idea on how this type of disease can be detected and what it can inflict and those men who are plainly and painfully clueless. Handling this disease will be more manageable as long as one is aware of such disease’s signs and symptoms. So now, this excludes you from one of the many men who are not even aware of the possibilities of acquiring a menacing prostate cancer.
